The destiny 2 community mourned the loss from John Wick And The cable Actor Lance Reddick along with everyone else following his recent death. But Bungie confirms that the voice behind the main character, Commander Zavala, has a few more appearances in the game.
“As an actor, musician, gamer, and family man, the passion Lance had for the things he loved was reflected in the eyes and hearts of all who loved him,” Bungie wrote in a blog entry on Thursday. “For now, we will honor his presence through his upcoming achievements in-game and in the memories that will stay with us for a lifetime.”

While Cayde-6 was a popular video game character, the loss of Zavala is more like a hit TV show having to write one of its main characters off.

Key characters have been recast in the past, most notably the Warlock Ikora Rey previously voiced by Gina Torres (Firefly) and has since been replaced by Mara Junot (fireheart). However, it seems hard to imagine doing that with Zavala at this point, and there have been previous hints that the character may not survive the game’s upcoming war with The Darkness. We’ll know better later this year how Bungie decides to end Reddick’s legacy destiny 2‘S final shape expansion approaches.
